How owners and operators are approaching sustainability, building performance, long-term asset value, capital planning, and portfolio strategy in a changing market.

Description

Sustainability is becoming a core part of real estate strategy in 2026. Across major markets, owners and operators are taking a closer look at building performance, portfolio visibility, capital planning, and long-term asset resilience. What was once treated primarily as ESG reporting is now becoming more integrated with operations, investment decisions, and asset-level planning. This discussion will explore how leading real estate organizations are approaching sustainability across large portfolios, from benchmarking and building data to retrofit prioritization, operational efficiency, and capital allocation. We will examine how firms are identifying opportunities, improving portfolio performance, and building internal alignment across asset management, operations, and sustainability teams as market expectations continue to evolve.
